Congress 116th
Date Requested Nov. 5, 2019
Requested By the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
Date Sent Nov. 27, 2019
Description:
S. 1130 would authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop, maintain, or support programs that address sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) including awarding grants to develop best practices to reduce SUID, support systems to report fatalities, and provide technical assistance to states receiving grants. In 2019, approximately $2 million was allocated for these purposes. The legislation also would direct the Secretary of HHS to report biennially on the activities implemented related to SUID. Based on historical spending for similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would cost $7 million over the 2020-2024 period; that spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated amounts.
